Belgium Seeks FIFA Explanation on Folarin Balogun Ban Decision

The Belgian Football Association submitted a formal request to FIFA seeking a detailed explanation for the temporary suspension imposed on striker Folarin Balogun. FIFA responded by lifting the ban, meaning Balogun will be eligible to take part in the upcoming round‑of‑16 clash on Monday.

The decision clears the Belgian squad’s lineup and gives the coach the chance to integrate the player into tactical preparations ahead of the match.
